Check the various anarchism subreddits. They give the best introductions to each style. There are so many flavors of anarchism that anything anybody tells you of one is not true for the other.
I personally consider myself an individualist anarchist who has rejected the Labor Theory of Value and has accepted marginalism. Basically I identify with Lysander Spooner, but with some more modern influences on his economic thought (basically STV and marginalism prove wage-labor is not exploitation.) Some anarchists consider Spooner an anarchist, while some consider him only an anti-statist/non-archist with anarchist influences (he isn't left-wing/anti-capitalist/anti-propertarian enough for them.) I find his propertarianism appealing, as I don't accept "occupation and use" property models and rather accept lockean property rights, like Spooner. Some anarchists (egoists of the Stirner variety) have a power-based property model." I own what I can keep by force" is their way about doing things.
Then in social anarchism you have a huge difference between anarcho-communists and mutualists, for example. Usually they all want socialism, but they want different methods of socialism. For example, mutualists like market-socialism while ancoms like a planned gift economy with or without labor vouchers depending on whom you ask.
So it is really complicated. There are as many forms of anarchism as there are forms of states. The only thing consistent is that each philosophy pushes their idea of freedom from rulers and "hierarchies."
